MiniArt is a Ukrainian plastic model kit manufacturer founded in 2004, quickly establishing itself as a major player in the scale modeling industry. Based in Kyiv, the company produces primarily 1/35 scale military vehicles, figures, and accessories, though they also offer kits in other scales including 1/16 and 1/72.
MiniArt has earned an exceptional reputation for highly detailed kits featuring intricate interiors, photo-etched parts, and comprehensive accessory sets. The company is particularly renowned for its World War I and World War II subjects, including obscure vehicles, artillery pieces, and extensive figure ranges. Their kits often include full interior detail, even for enclosed vehicles, setting new standards in the hobby.
The manufacturer has also produced impressive tractor and civilian vehicle kits, alongside creative diorama building sets. MiniArt's engineering is generally excellent, though complex parts counts can challenge less experienced modelers.
Despite challenges including the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, MiniArt continues producing innovative, detail-rich kits that consistently win industry awards and enthusiast acclaim worldwide.
